What do yas do when you lose a frag that gets knocked off a rock by a water change or critter? Do you tear apart your rocks?

A green slimer fell off my rock and has fallen into shadow.
 
I've had that happen a few times and had to tear into it to get it out. Not a perfect situation but if you don't want to lose it there is no other way for me anyways.
 
Really long tweezers and a lot of patience, you’ll eventually be able to pick it up.

You can also try to siphon it with a small tube, it’ll create a suction force allowing you to pick it up - though, it will slightly damage the tissue.
